Hi

I recently bought a new Vista computer.

I had a Windows 98 computer previously.

I copied the "dbx" files from Outlook Express 5 into a temporary
folder on the new machine.

I imported them into Windows Mail (correcting the path error in the
import wizard).

Windows Mail crashed, and when I reloaded Windows Mail all of the
local folders had vanished except for the Inbox, which was
inaccessible.   After restarting it again a few times, nothing
changed.

Eventually I went to the folder store in AppData, and deleted all the
files in the Windows Mail folder, assuming them to be corrupted in
some way.

When I restarted Windows Mail, it recovered and recreated the Local
Folders structure for me again.

Back to square one.

I tried importing the "dbx" files again, and this seemed to work,
appearing under "Imported Folders".

All seemed well, but now for the problem.

If I want to create a folder, or delete a folder, or move a folder,
the change does not show up live in the folders list in the left
pane.

However, if I click on local folders, the change shows up in the right
pane, which lists the local folders tree in expanded form.

To repeat, Windows Mail seems to make the change to the folder
structure, but does not update the live folders list in the left hand
pane.

However, if I restart windows mail after creating, deleting or moving,
the change is visible in the left hand pane.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Regards
